LG is planning on releasing an even smaller OLED TV next year for display enthusiasts who think the 48-inch C1 is still too big. That’s according to a leaked list of upcoming models for 2022, which include a 42-inch C2 display alongside the usual sizes such as 55- and 65-inch panels. HDTVTest’s Vincent Teoh discovered the listings at Korea’s Radio Research Agency (RRA) certification database and LG Korea’s official website.
From Teoh:
New 2022 LG OLED TVs have been leaked on a Korean government agency that certifies telecommunications equipment. Using Google cache, we also found an LG OLED42C2 previously listed on LG Korea’s official website, confirming a 42-inch LG C2 OLED TV coming next year.

| Model | 42″ | 48″ | 55″ | 65″ | 77″ | 83″ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LG A2 | OLED48A2 | OLED55A2 | OLED65A2 | OLED77A2 | ||
| LG B2 | OLED55B2 | OLED65B2 | OLED77B2 | |||
| LG C2 | OLED42C2 | OLED48C2 | OLED55C2 | OLED65C2 | OLED77C2 | OLED83C2 |
| LG G2 | OLED55G2 | OLED65C2 | OLED77G2 | OLED83G2 |
LG’s 42-inch C2 OLED TV will presumably be very popular with PC gamers who are seeking the highest image quality but want something that can actually fit on a desk. It’s unclear what kind of improvements LG might have developed for its 2022 OLED models, as the current generation already boasts key features such as G-SYNC compatibility and Dolby Vision support at 4K/120 Hz.
